About the Author

Richard Boom Richard is the driving force behind Comics for Sinners. His love and admiration for female comic book characters is virtually unparalleled, which immediately explains his biggest 'sin': his Hot Mummy fetish. This sketchbook theme is philogynistic in nature and even the source of his WIP comic book series "The Sisterhood".

Comics for Sinners showcases the femmes fatales in comics through art, news and previews. That's right, we're here to spotlight the Bad Girls that put the 'pretty' in pretty pictures!
